"Oh the romantic entanglements of those White House ladies. Letty Tyler sees a flirtatious twenty-four year old rival steal her place as White House hostess, steal the affection of her presidential father and become the first lady. Years later, when her father is long dead in the grave, she sees that same rival steal the affection of her own husband! Sometimes these pages sizzle.

This this is an especially intriguing book for parents…. for the same mistakes that the presidents make with their kids, we all make. And still some of these kids overcome all of this trauma and stress to triumph!

This book finally gets the dates and places right, a persistent irritant for those of us who have researched the subject, only to find Pulitzer prize-wining authors giving out the wrong info and even misspelling the names of the children. This book will clearly have a long shelf life and be a favorite of libraries, if only because of that fact alone. So here it is finally. And it was worth the wait! A fascinating glimpse of the children of presidents and what happens to them after they have left the national stage."
